Thank goodness for fellow bloggers and tagged recipes. I'm invited to a bar b que and I'm bringing dessert. It's hot and muggy and I don't feel much like baking or heating up the house. I'm kind of loving the air conditioning right about now. I also don't feel like bringing anything too heavy so no cheesecake. Then the lightbulb went off. I found this recipe at Cookie Baker Lynn and said "hmmm, this looks interesting.

So, not only is it an interesting recipe but it fits with this month's roundup for meringue at Greedy Gourmet

REALLY weird question... have you ever noticed baked meringue having a wet dog smell? I was at my aunt's house earlier this year while she was making banana pudding. While it was cooling, I kept faintly smelling that 'wet dog' smell. She told me she notices it too every time she makes banana pudding. Then the other day I baked some meringue on parchment paper just to see what it would do. And I noticed that wet dog smell again!! How strange and gross is that?

How to Eat a Cupcake - I can't really say that I noticed a wet dog smell when the meringue was baking. Although I do have 2 dogs - maybe it's just a normal smell to me. I'll have to pay closer attention next time.

Since we refer to family members, here's a key to clarify who's who

R - Psychgrad's hubby. Is the cook responsible for many of the recipes but usually does not post himself (unless it is to complain about our food obsession or share a dish that he loves -- usually poutine).

E- Practicing her skills as ruler of the world (or her little brother, K).

K - Cool little bro -- biding his time until he's big enough to take down E.
